Flooring ‘N Tiles

Natural marble light floor tiles have all those charateristics we look for in a marble product: a veiny, multicolored look, speckled with granite-like inbedded splashes of color and a semi-tranluscent sheen. Marble has been used for centuries as a flooring product for the very most elegant places. The glamor and sheer beauty of marble override some of its detriments and offer a strikingly gorgeous flooring solution that pleases absolutely everyone with its breathtaking charm.

However, as mentioned marble has a detriment or two. It is not nearly as hard a material as Travertine, for example, and many other natural stone flooring tiles. There is a reason outside of it’s gorgeous color that is has served well as a scupltor’s medium: it very simply cuts easier than many other materials. Marble also has issues with standing water and anything possessing a level of acidity which often weakens it. It is pourous enough to collect the acidic waters and chemicals and certainly soft enough to break down over time.

Nevertheless, marble remains the “summa cum laude” of flooring beauty, simply because of its sheer beauty. And it does indeed have that. Tightly-veined, impressively colored, seemingly semi-transparent, marble can be an absolutely breath-taking material to use on flooring in a residence where constant traffic is less than in a commerical application and where the upkeep on it can be safely assumed. Marble light floor tiles are very easy to install as well, something I certainly care about. The materials on the slick, clear surface wipe up perfectly and owing to the expense, they typically get cut to exactly the specificiations and installer wants most. By residential, not commerical standards, marble holds up as well as any flooring tile.
